How to test DAO methods using Mockito?

Question

I\'ve started to discovered Mockito library and there is a question for which I didn\'t find the proper answer.

If I have for example such method in my UserDAO class tha

Here is a good start using Mockito to test your UserDAO. This code uses a good amount of the Mockito features, so you can see how to use them. Let me know if you have questions.

import java.sql.Connection;
import java.sql.PreparedStatement;
import java.sql.ResultSet;
import java.sql.SQLException;
import javax.sql.DataSource;
import org.junit.After;
import org.junit.AfterClass;
import org.junit.Before;
import org.junit.BeforeClass;
import org.junit.Test;
import static org.junit.Assert.*;
import org.junit.runner.RunWith;
import static org.mockito.Matchers.anyInt;
import static org.mockito.Matchers.anyString;
import org.mockito.Mock;
import static org.mockito.Mockito.doNothing;
import static org.mockito.Mockito.times;
import static org.mockito.Mockito.verify;
import static org.mockito.Mockito.when;
import org.mockito.runners.MockitoJUnitRunner;

@RunWith(MockitoJUnitRunner.class)
public class TestUserDAO {

    @Mock
    DataSource mockDataSource;
    @Mock
    Connection mockConn;
    @Mock
    PreparedStatement mockPreparedStmnt;
    @Mock
    ResultSet mockResultSet;
    int userId = 100;

    public TestUserDAO() {
    }

    @BeforeClass
    public static void setUpClass() throws Exception {
    }

    @AfterClass
    public static void tearDownClass() {
    }

    @Before
    public void setUp() throws SQLException {
        when(mockDataSource.getConnection()).thenReturn(mockConn);
        when(mockDataSource.getConnection(anyString(), anyString())).thenReturn(mockConn);
        doNothing().when(mockConn).commit();
        when(mockConn.prepareStatement(anyString(), anyInt())).thenReturn(mockPreparedStmnt);
        doNothing().when(mockPreparedStmnt).setString(anyInt(), anyString());
        when(mockPreparedStmnt.execute()).thenReturn(Boolean.TRUE);
        when(mockPreparedStmnt.getGeneratedKeys()).thenReturn(mockResultSet);
        when(mockResultSet.next()).thenReturn(Boolean.TRUE, Boolean.FALSE);
        when(mockResultSet.getInt(Fields.GENERATED_KEYS)).thenReturn(userId);
    }

    @After
    public void tearDown() {
    }

    @Test
    public void testCreateWithNoExceptions() throws SQLException {

        UserDAO instance = new UserDAO(mockDataSource);
        instance.create(new User());

        //verify and assert
        verify(mockConn, times(1)).prepareStatement(anyString(), anyInt());
        verify(mockPreparedStmnt, times(6)).setString(anyInt(), anyString());
        verify(mockPreparedStmnt, times(1)).execute();
        verify(mockConn, times(1)).commit();
        verify(mockResultSet, times(2)).next();
        verify(mockResultSet, times(1)).getInt(Fields.GENERATED_KEYS);
    }

    @Test(expected = SQLException.class)
    public void testCreateWithPreparedStmntException() throws SQLException {

         //mock
         when(mockConn.prepareStatement(anyString(), anyInt())).thenThrow(new SQLException());


        try {
            UserDAO instance = new UserDAO(mockDataSource);
            instance.create(new User());
        } catch (SQLException se) {
            //verify and assert
            verify(mockConn, times(1)).prepareStatement(anyString(), anyInt());
            verify(mockPreparedStmnt, times(0)).setString(anyInt(), anyString());
            verify(mockPreparedStmnt, times(0)).execute();
            verify(mockConn, times(0)).commit();
            verify(mockResultSet, times(0)).next();
            verify(mockResultSet, times(0)).getInt(Fields.GENERATED_KEYS);
            throw se;
        }

    }
